FirstGen is an organization dedicated to expanding access to scalable entrepreneurship and venture capital for immigrant and first-generation (children of immigrants) entrepreneurs. Our goal is to help founders raise their first $1M in funding and/or reach their first $1M in revenue. We do so by supporting founders through capability-building, capital & customer support and community.
One Way Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund, operating in the U.S., focused on backing exceptional immigrant founders.
After 20 years of angel investing and three years as Managing Director of Techstars Boston, One Way co-founder Semyon Dukach noticed a trend: immigrant-led companies repeatedly outperformed the rest of his portfolio. While immigrants only make up 14% of the U.S. population, they start 24% of startups, and founded or co-founded more than 50% of America’s billion-dollar startups. One Way Ventures has over $125M under management and has backed immigrant founders from over 30 countries.
Dentons - As a boutique practice within the world’s largest law firm, Dentons’ Global Venture Technology Group offers nimble, strategic counsel to leading emerging tech companies and venture investors. We bring together local market expertise, global reach and a Silicon Valley mindset—delivering the tailored support and insights needed to drive innovation and growth.
